love my 1912 house with the button light switches and old fashioned everything
makes my life as a systems admin at a small shop bareable. I am by default the SME on all technology to my coworkers and it's draining. The old house is my true refuge. knowing it's been there for so long, unchanged for almost all of that time. It's something special. We had the outlets upgraded from knob and tube, but funny enough the electricians said it was basically perfect and the best they had seen, only one spot was a concern but it's nice not having to worry about overloading that old copper.
I loved my 1900 house. When we moved in, our insurance company said they wouldnt insure us if the knob and tube running in the attic was active. Our inspector wrote up the report saying it was dead wire, just didnt take it out when they ran romex... fast forward to us selling the house. New inspector tells us that knob and tube IS active and we have to replace it to sell the house. Sigh.
Another fun was trying to fix a door that didnt close right. Naturally i assumed the frame settled and wasnt square. Eventually started to get to work when i realized the frame WAS square, just about the only square joint in the house. But it mustve no been because the door was planed at an angle lol. That solid wood door replacement was hundreds of dollars, so it didn't get replaced
the only knob and tube we have left is for the antique light fixtures. but at the exposure point it is transferred to romex and all of the lines have a GFCI outlet between the fuse box and the lines. The electrician said it's the acceptable solution since we didn't want to tear into the walls and ceilings
